Lyrics

I met Bobby Ray in the big house
He had a scraggly beard and a big mouth
He was talking of a lady he lost so long ago
Her name was Doris and she worked down
At Jimmy’s Tavern on the other side of town
She made her living giving cocktails to the boys
Well this girl she was the apple in the eye
Of our Bobby Ray Tom

Well Bobby got out about a week ago
He bought a dozen roses and a suit of clothes
And headed out to find the one he’d left behind
When he got the bar he was asking where
He could find the love of his life and there
She was sitting and laughing with an unfamiliar guy
Well he dropped those roses and an evil look entered the eye
Of our Bobby Ray Tom

Now Bobby Ray being the kind of man he was
Didn’t stop to think
Just grabbed his gun
And casually walked up to the two
Well Doris looked up with a look of surprise
And saw the rage in Bobby Ray’s eyes
And tried to smile

Well Bobby Ray said don’t even try
And to think I thought about you all this while
To find out you’re just a filthy bitch and I was blind
Well Doris opened up her mouth to explain
But didn’t have the time before the fire came
And Bobby unloaded six rounds in her mind
And you should’ve seen the look on Doris’s brother’s eyes
At Bobby Ray Tom

Her brother had dropped in town just for the night
To see how his sister was getting by
When Bobby stumbled onto the two
Now Bobby was headed straight back to jail
But big brother had a nine in his pocket as well
To send Bobby Ray packing one way down to hell
Bye Bobby
